SUMMARY

  • UK-based startup Skyral has raised $20 million in Series A funding, led by NOIA Capital with support from Accrete Capital.

The funding will help the company expand its AI-powered digital twin technology globally, targeting sectors like defence, national security, healthcare, and infrastructure.

"This investment is a strong endorsement of both Skyral’s technology and its ability to solve complex global challenges, as well as the excellence of UK innovation," said Nick Blair, co-founder and Chairman of Skyral. “Our digital twin software is at the forefront of a new era in decision-making, where virtual models power real-world transformation.”

Skyral has gained strong commercial traction, working with clients such as NATO, the UK Ministry of Defence, and other public and private sector partners worldwide. It is also part of the Omnia Training consortium, collaborating with major players like Raytheon, Rheinmetall, Capita, and Cervus.

Beyond defence, Skyral’s modelling tools have been used in civilian applications. During the COVID-19 pandemic, it supported the UK government in simulating various scenarios.

In Indonesia, Skyral contributed to efforts in reducing child stunting by helping identify effective policy actions—doing so reportedly over 50 times faster than traditional methods.

"We believe Skyral represents the next generation of AI-enabled strategic modelling and simulation technology," said Jérôme Lhoist, Partner at NOIA Capital. “Their unique combination of digital twin capabilities and AI-powered analytics offers transformative potential across defence, national security, healthcare and infrastructure. We're excited to support their vision and help scale their impact globally.”

Skyral operates in the rapidly growing modelling and simulation (M&S) software market, a key and emerging area within the AI space.

The global need for predictive simulation and digital twin technology has surged due to rising geopolitical tensions, climate risks and the increasing complexity of infrastructure and logistics systems.

Skyral’s platform combines behavioural data, real-time infrastructure inputs (like transport and energy networks), and predictive modelling to build strategic digital twins of cities and even countries.

This helps governments and businesses simulate the impact of policies, investments, or disruptions—offering both scenario planning and operational insights.

With its latest funding, Skyral plans to grow its team enhance product development and expand into new markets across North America, Europe, and Asia. The company, backed by a growing global team, is strengthening its focus on both public and private sector projects.
